The same seven questions for each program

• —What is the monthly price, and what does it include?
• —Is prescribed medication included, or billed separately?
• —Which laboratory panel is included, and how often is it repeated?
• —Does a provider review your labs with you?
• —Are follow-up visits and dose adjustments included?
• —Is more than one treatment pathway available, including non-testosterone options?
• —How do you reach your provider between visits?

Vitality's answers

Men's and women's online hormone care have the same prices: Using insurance for labs: $299 initial evaluation · $99/month ongoing care. No insurance? Choose labs-included care: $399 initial evaluation + core labs · $149/month ongoing care. Clinical fees are direct-pay. Insurance-pathway lab charges are billed separately by Quest or Labcorp depending on coverage. The cash-pay pathway includes the initial core panel and, during ongoing care, one routine core monitoring panel every four months. Medications are paid separately at the pharmacy. Ongoing monthly management is offered after consultation with explicit consent, and monthly billing begins one month after enrollment. Expanded testing is priced separately and disclosed before agreement.

Some recommended prescriptions are available only through a compounding pharmacy, not a commercial retail pharmacy. Compounded testosterone-support prescriptions such as enclomiphene cost extra and are not covered by insurance under this program. HSA reimbursement may be available for eligible prescribed expenses; confirm eligibility and documentation requirements with your HSA administrator. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

One thing no comparison table captures

Whether treatment can be declined. A program willing to tell you that hormone therapy is not appropriate for you is a program making clinical decisions rather than fulfilling orders.

Enrolling in a program is not a guarantee of any prescription. Treatment is prescribed only when a Vitality provider determines it is medically appropriate.
